Success & Major Exploration Coaching
Partnering with you on your academic journey - do any of these statements sound familiar?
- I feel like I never have enough time.
- I'm just not feeling motivated to do my work.
- I'm not sure how to be a successful student.
If yes, you are not alone. Academic life can be challenging, and we are here to help.

Success Coaching
We are here for you to offer personalized academic support and connect you to the
resources you need to stay on track with your academic goals.
During your first meeting, your coach will ask conversational questions to understand
your current experiences, habits, and possible areas for growth. Then you’ll explore
potential solutions together. A typical first appointment includes:
- Chatting about your course load, quarter, and interests
- Discussing the topic that brought you to coaching or, if you’re unsure, exploration of what a relevant topic could be
- Sharing strategies that might work for you, and how you'd like to tailor them to your situation
You can make as many follow-up appointments as you’d like. We understand that building
new habits is difficult, and we’re happy to discuss ways of overcoming these obstacles
with you.

What other outreach does the SOAR Team provide?
In addition to student-driven appointments, our team also proactively outreaches to
students who might not be achieving academic milestones in their major. We partner
with academic advising units, career services, and retention specialists across campus
in order to provide students with individualized and targeted support.

Major Exploration Coaching
Many students are undecided about their majors when entering college, while others
who thing they have decided on a major will change their minds multiple times before
graduating. Uncertainty about your major is common, and when you need support to find
a major that fits your interests, strengths, and career aspirations, we're here to
help.
Through working with an exploration coach, you will:
- explore resources to clarify your decision to change your major;
- select a major based on your interests, skills, and career aspirations;
- understand key major change processes; and
- connect with people who will assist you with changing your major.

FACULTY/STAFF REFERRALS
I'm a faculty/staff member. Can I refer a student to the Academic Support team?
When you raise this flag, you can provide information about the academic concern,
and one of our academic support coaches will reach out to the student.
The student will not see that this flag was raised.
